CARAMELIZED BANANA SPLIT SUNDAE
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan set over low heat, cook the cream until just simmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chocolate, and let it sit for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, then whisk until the chocolate and cream are fully mixed. Whisk in the cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the corn syrup and salt. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the cut side of the bananas with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter and then add the bananas cut-side down. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip and brown the other side and remove from the pan.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the chocolate sauce on each serving plate. Top each with two of the cooked banana slices, then sprinkle each plate with some of the chopped peanuts. Place 2 scoops of ice cream on top of the banana slices and sprinkle with a few more nuts to serve.

Steps:
- Heat sugar in a large heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat. Let stand until edge of sugar starts to melt and turn golden. Carefully swirl pan to incorporate all of the sugar. Continue cooking until sugar is a golden-brown caramel, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, and stir in butter. Add bananas, carefully roll in caramel, and cook, turning bananas occasionally until just soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove bananas from caramel, and place in serving dishes. Add 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream to caramel sauce, and stir until smooth and creamy. Scoop remaining ice cream over bananas, pour caramel over ice cream, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
CARAMELIZED BANANA SPLIT
Steps:
- Cut bananas in half lengthwise and then in half again crosswise. Pour sugar onto a small plate. Dip the cut sides of the bananas in the sugar, and caramelize under the broiler or with a blowtorch.
- Place a scoop of each flavor of ice cream in a martini glass. Place 2 pieces of caramelized bananas at the back of the glass like rabbit ears. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, then spoonfuls of marshmallow sauce and pineapple sauce, then sprinkle with chopped nuts. Garnish with a big sprig of mint.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the bananas from burning.
- Cook the bananas over medium heat: This will help to caramelize the bananas without burning them.
- Stir the bananas frequently: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Add sugar and spices to taste: You can adjust the amount of sugar and spices to your liking.
- Serve the caramelized bananas immediately: They are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
Conclusion:
Caramelized bananas are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on their own or used to top other desserts, such as ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas that would otherwise go to waste. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make caramelized bananas at home. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
